Some Requests i've done recently

[Dubious]

I'd just like some critisism and advice so i can improve my style/skill.

1.

2. I didnt draw the character, however i'd like advice on how to make him fit better in the picture... feel free to criticize about the background too.

3. I didnt do the sprite on this, only added in the torch, and the sheath.

4. This one i did for my avatar so sorry that its not RPG related but it just doesnt seem complete to me.

Thats all im gonna post for right now.

thanks in advance.:D

FIXED: Here's the second version of number 2, looks better i would say

I'd say probably the best way to fit the character in is to soften the outlines and the shading. The background has a very soft feel to it, so the character seems rather harsh.

The other alternative is to modify a battler to look like the character in the picture. That might give it a different feel too

Thanks Lunarea I got rid of some of the outlines and softened the rest, It blends in alot better now, I also detailed the chest a little more so it looks a bit better.
I posted the touched up number 2 above.

It looks much much much better now

If you can soften the outlines on the mask on his face (maybe just make them a darker gray instead of black, it'll be even more cohesive

I was thinking that was needed, here i'll post it fixed. Its subtle but i changed it..... perhaps more?

It's looking very nice now

I find 1-pixel black lines to be harsh in general, whether they be in facial features or on clothing. Hence why people will use "pen" tool or a softer version of a pencil when they draw in photoshop sometimes. It can be tough to smooth out the lines too sometimes, but you did a great job.

The two pictures fit a lot better together. Good job :lol:

Yea, we all have our own styles i guess and im definatly not the black hardline type. My favorite way of outlining is to use the burn tool lightly on it making a nice fade-in line......of course sometimes you have to use the dodge tool cause of lighting.

you did skyla's big headstone thing? I mean, hell, that looks freaking amazing, whether it was you or her who did it. Bravo.

 

[crazymew]

[Dubious]

Yea I did that....well someone else started it but I did most of it.
